[Chorus]
|
You tell me lies, lies, lies
|
Sweet little lies
|
When I cannot bear the truth
|
|
You tell me lies, lies, lies
|
Sweet little lies
|
Help me make them all come true
|
|
Tell me that the rain won't fall today
|
Tell me that the taxman lost his way
|
Tell me that the hurtin ain't gonna hurt no more
|
Tell me that somebody stopped the war
|
|
[Chorus]
|
I say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
|
I say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
|
|
Tell me that the whole world's wonderful
|
Tell me that the bank account's still full
|
Tell me that we all got plenty of time
|
Tell me that I ain't gonna lose my mind (lift me up now)
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
And you know I'm just a man
|
With my heart in my hand
|
You tell me things and hope
|
And ghosts won't leave me alone
|
And even though I got no plans
|
I'm on the run from the man
|
And just hold on to me
|
You just hold on to me
|
|
Every time I need a prayer
|
Every time I need to share
|
Every time I needed someone to hold on to me
|
|
[Chorus]
|
Help me make them all come true
|
Help me make them all come true
|
Help me make them all come true
|
Help me make them all come true
|
Help me make them all come true
|
|
[Spoken:] tell me that the whole world's wonderful
|
